Former Dutch international midfielder Edgar Davids demanded on Saturday that Dutch legend Johann Cruyff apologise over his alleged remark a year ago the only reason he was on the board of Ajax football club was because he was black.

Davids, 39 and now head coach of League Two outfit Barnet, had brushed the remark aside at the time but he told BBC Sport that now he wanted an apology from his compatriot, adding he was especially upset the Dutch Football Association had done nothing about it.

Cruyff denied being racist -- something that at the time Davids also concurred with -- and claimed his comments were misrepresented.

He made his remarks after Louis van Gaal had been appointed general director without his knowledge.
